    Hi Anonymous 

     

    "but in the end, the datasource (excel spreadsheets) had to be located in another computer, because these spreadsheets need to be filled by other people."

I've installed the Power BI Desktop on the final computer, but I believe this SharePoint solution would have worked just fine

 

I'll keep that in mind for the next Reports

 

Thanks!
